flaring up next tries to find out why it happened. i'm joined by francis gilbert teacher and author he's written a book called the nation and is a frequent commentator on youth culture francis thanks for speaking to r.t. so what was your reaction to the riots and were you surprised i suppose i was shocked when i you know heard of them happening or to be near where i live but i was not surprised because i mean i think a lot of commentators have said that this sort of thing. has been waiting to happen for a number of years now why is that. i think it's complicated i mean i suppose you could isolate a few factors firstly we have had a kind of run of disaffected socially disadvantaged young people in

our urban areas for. maybe a couple of decades and they have become more more organized that we come. divisions in society go. and they've become less fraught of the consequences of misbehavior because actually they've been getting away with this sort of behavior for many many years so i think what we're seeing is this sort of culture. the kind of explosion of trauma on the streets and the your crucially in my book i define as a theatrical creature someone who. believes he wants the street to become the theater and the whole point of it is the sort of thing that we've seen on t.v. where they're actually parading themselves in their power and smashing things up publicly and this is been a problem in britain for you know

a couple of decades so why now why did it suddenly overflow i think. what's happened is you seen a group a small group of very disaffected alienated people who are all need to get a lot and they are becoming very who's going izing and getting people together in various kind of parts of the country and so the social media played a big role in crudely to get the politicians have been quick to dismiss the rights to see criminality but surely they need to take responsibility too isn't this a problem to the society they run i mean i would agree that i mean i think it is quite calm pegs i think that yes there are some very disaffected alienated and quite very clever people out that from the underclasses who are incredibly bitter about the lack of opportunity and they incredibly ambitious as well are you teach you know and i have talked to disaffected

a native teenagers who are very clever and they realize that you know actually realistically the opportunities there for them are very limited for example and what they're facing so they go to university they're faced with mountains of debt they want to get a good job in journalism or law they don't have the parental support the richer people have they don't have the sort of networks that david cameron and his have so was to blame for the thirty forty years ago the vast majority of working class people working factories weren't may now mechanization technology means what modern western societies are dealing with are. people who are not actually needed for work and you have to generate some sort of enterprise culture and that is a real problem for us this net we've got a lot of people on welfare. how do you deal with that obviously you need to. you need to kind of think very seriously about how how you keep those people look all

right what about the education system is it failing mr. i actually argued very forcefully not know that said education isn't everything as i've been hinting at you know once you've got the highly educated group of people who know that they're not they haven't got huge prospects then you've got perhaps even more of a problem than if they were totally uneducated we also know we have a small minority of very disaffected illiterate poor so the education system has done well and i think it's that mix it's a sort of toxic mix of the bright working class kids and. a group of people lake a manipulator perhaps very easily educated or not though surely these kids should know that violence is not the answer people are brought up in a context where they have

a kind of conscience perhaps wouldn't be doing this with day and it is on the education systems i just don't see the little education system can really help context with that if you are dealing with a group of people particularly from kind of fractured families in a growing up in quite a brutalized atmosphere it is a real problem this is a one off for reserve potentially more to come and the underlying rumbling kind of disaffection of your brewery that kind of affects all of us in the day to day level i don't think that's going to go away. for many years unless we kind of reorientate to the prospects for a lot of these young people so could this spread to europe do you think i don't know are i personally not i mean i always say this in my your nation book. you know french italian cultures so-called have a different kind of attitude to and social behavior and it doesn't seem to be

so much of a poor. because of the way for example a treat things like alcohol which again we haven't mentioned alcohol in britain plays a huge role in the perpetuation of social behavior and causes no mass kind of problems throughout the u.k. every weekend what is it about british society than the the means your vicious flourishes and has it always been the case i mean i argue in the book how to mean our mascot in britain used to be john ball who was this drunken fierce sort of. character who would bash the foreigners abroad and that was a cruising agent for cologne. and that's that was what two hundred fifty years ago even people like david cameron will members of thing called building society which actually actively encourages young man to get drunk and trashed property. you know

the deputy prime minister john prescott a few years ago i punch someone in the mouth and reined in posting actually was celebrated right you know we have a kind of as a culture and i have to treat the virus we would join the more that ever was going on you know we kind of quite an aggressive adversarial culture and not. really influences things as well it permeates into every level of our society it is something that can be changed. i think i do think schools have a role to play and you know i have seen where for example in schools bus drivers have gone into primary schools and spoken to six and seven year olds and showing them c.c.t.v. footage of themselves being stoned by your purse and talk to these young people about how they felt and how humiliated they felt and not really for me it was very convincingly getting young children thinking about other people's feelings and

developing a conscience ok was that my work in. classroom but how does that transfer on the wide level of society you could argue obviously david ed miliband has said that everyone in the labor party has to read the spirit level which is the seminal book about inequality causing ultimately many of society's ills and we have a very. cool society which. divisions of rich and poor richard which have affected things no doubt so there's lots and lots of little things that need to happen and i would really worry that this current government doesn't. know sorts of nuts and bolts things you know they need to look at how the police are behaving they need to improve perhaps certain things with an underclass in school they need to look at parenting moves we never personally in this country be not well governed and we again have this adversarial system that hasn't actually

served us that well. and you have these chopping and changing of policy there's nothing seen through in any kind of long term basis there's no consensus about education health whatever you know it seems that the government's wanting to come down very tough on those who are caught ranching handing out strict punishments and things will sort of do you think will do more harm than good. and we know it won't work i mean again it's back to a kind of holding the scandinavian model of rehabilitation in finland in sweden in norway is the any serious way that you actually deal with these problems on the long term level but just buying them up in prison is where which are overcrowded i mean these prisons are crime factories explain. to me sitting right in the english prison to sixty seven percent of these people go into prison they come out and they

re offend again the reaction in many parts of the country from communities. the launch vigilante groups clearly they're angry and they want a heavy handed response is that the answer i don't think the public are very well educated about how and why children come to do this so for example there's a lot of discussion around how parents should be teaching their children and you know disciplining more is so much evidence and all my experience as a teacher is that the children hit by their parents are the ones who are the worst behaved you know and that just doesn't come out in the kind of general conversation it's a sort of knee jerk reaction you know we need to be much tougher and we know it doesn't work in the long run ok so what should we do then if we say see thirteen year old walking down the street so we give him a hug i think again it's much more. perhaps he should say

building relationships within communities a very important this is something i've argued with you know quite strongly on the website on my writing you know we have very socially very to communities and socially segregated schools you know that if you do where you have schools where all community come together we have communities that actually know each other these sorts of problems are dealt with in a bit better fashion. thanks very much thank you. for the full story we've got it from. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers. it can hear dr swan's policeman swines ministers why i just. if you didn't find me if i could just live through the

night that i would get my kids out of here because i knew that. what was going to happen was that he was going to kill me many victims don't understand that domestic violence includes verbal abuse psychological abuse physical abuse and sexual acts at least four million women are affected by abuse every year those are only two options that i saw at that moment either i'm going to kill him or me in jail or he's going to kill me. takes fifteen to twenty million years for the planet to recover from a major extinction event but the planet has time we don't. it's been going on for months twenty twenty five years and since it's been moved to eco terrorist before there was even islamic fundamentalist terrorist in this country when the

nine eleven happened the bush administration could not find any terrorists because the feds couldn't find any real terrorists they decided to take these young people who are accused of property sabotage and label then as terrorists someone you destroy property. with absolutely zero intention of harming a single human being. in my mind it's not fair it's real people who are green in this country are the housewives who recycle. and the children who play trees on the weekend with their cub scout troops that's the. sound. guys out. there have. turned out.

a club level after being given the task of guiding k.h. all runners up at l'anse to lift the guarin cup in the fast approaching season rabbit by the onion reports. itself with a narrow margin that separates moments of glory for moments of disappointment april twenty seventh this is see drew aside a blend infused with new life while there are. made to the good mornings where they were stuck just one step from the truth each bike a chill boat house so i want you life however on the eve of the fourth season the magician are looking to become even stronger. with their major reinforcement coming from sweden new head coach bent gustavsson led his country to olympic gold in turin two thousand and six and world championship victory in the same year this isn't the similarly clad blue and yells ambitious expectations are as clear as daylight

although gustafsson remains cautious you know it's tough to set a goal now we're going to win the championship course everybody wants to win that protects not a realistic goal right now but maybe during the season we will feel that we could be a should be out there so it's really tough. to set a goal right now however the fifty three year old has a precise understanding of what he wants his team to be going to be like but it is a pain in the ass for every team because we're going to be very active all the hard working team and of course with lot of skills players we have the best defense is the great all fronts if you play a new office and so on is tougher and we have the park to stop the other team to score so we take the park and we keep it for sixty minutes and i have a client definitely have the strength to play in that way with their frontline being the most impressive part of the team because biggest signing alexei kovalev

is the strongest proof of that one thousand nine hundred ninety two olympic champion and nineteen ninety four stanley cup winner has always been considered one of the most gifted russian players in the n.h.l. this thirty eight year old superstar is no back to where he began and claims he still has the passion to shine in the. one thing what makes me happy i'm still healthy i'm still playing hockey i still got a job and i'm still competing i'm still a fan of have a chance playing for and. enjoy that crowd the noise and everything else. but think about it and. while one of apply. other new signings brunker devoid of each confessed it's far better to play with a star of carlos caliber then against him use a legit reason i play with and against him in the n.h.l. i was a young guy and you know he was here he has really good a great hands and skating is really good and i'm happy to vary on the same things
